i never thought of using saw dust for texture, ive been using baking soda and you have to be careful with it because if you dont seal it good enuff, it will turn white again!

nice work

its like finedust i dont know if you call it the same but its sawdust from mdf wood (the smooth pressen stuff) , waight i googled it and its just short for

Medium Density Fiberboard so i'm sure you know what i mean

i used it as base for my diorama and i saw the dust lying there and saved it in a container because its superfine stuf and i thought i can use that as dust or as stuff they trow on oilspils in garages .

when i was doing this ford i saw the jar with dust and got the idea to use it as texture , it actually is perfect scale wise..

first i tried wood glue and dust over it and then acrylic paint with the brush ..

but soon i tried just a layer of acrylic paint (waterbased) and just trow some sawdust on it , then paint over it right away .. then after drying some darker stuff and its like you get depth .. i could have made tiny holes even like its rusted through ..

but now it does not come of even when i wrub it with my finger , ist just enclosed in the paint

@ MCM Ohana , thnx , still learning new stuff , due to the diorama and the fact i tried a lot of stuff there i got the idea to turn my rods into weathered models ..

tbh i think its so much more fun and you can get much more realism with weathering , its like i found my calling lol

after looking here and posting some of my stuff i made carbs on the engine today and gave them the same weathering as the rest of the engine

mounted the windowframe and dash , the dash got a orange lightbulb in the middle , a small speedo en 2 pinstripes
